   How are they Americanized? Two versions filmed? What?

   Are you insane? One is set at a HOTEL, the other a BAR.   
      
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fawlty_Towers   
   The popular sitcoms 3rd Rock from the Sun and Cheers (in both of which   
   Cleese has appeared) have cited Fawlty Towers as an inspiration,   
   especially regarding its depiction of a dysfunctional "family" in the   
   workplace. Also Arthur Mathews and Graham Linehan have cited Fawlty   
   Towers as a major influence on their sitcom Father Ted. Guest House on   
   Pakistan's PTV also resembled the series.
